When I was young and my mom would pack my school lunch, sometimes I would get cold left over fried chicken! Such a treat and so good. With fried chicken I also got plain potato chips, a single piece of bread with butter and raspberry jelly folded in half, and some sort of treat. It was such a special lunch and I always loved it!
Last night we had fried chicken to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. And of course my mom made extra so my sister and I could take some for lunch. (Thank you, Mom!) As I packed my lunch I suddenly remembered the perfect pairing… a single slice of bread with butter and raspberry jelly folded in half.
And today when I ate my lunch, as I read emails at my desk, I was completely satisfied and happy as I remembered what a treat this lunch was 20 years ago and what a treat it is still! Sometimes Joy is found in the strangest places. Today, Joy was folded in a piece of bread with butter and raspberry jelly. But, we know it is so much more than that!
